Delegate Comments

"This has been the most informative, enjoyable ALPSP course - out of a lot of great conferences." Charlotte Brabants, Oxford University Press

A very good course and a good idea as there aren’t many courses available on this topic, specific to publishing. Very good idea to get input from brokers.
